Harsneh kaur discussion-14

In “The House on Mango Street,” there’s a vignette titled “My Name” this title resonates with my name also. My name is Harsneh and everyone pronounced it as harshneh, harsneha. During my childhood, I frequently faced situations where my name was mispronounced, sometimes unintentionally but occasionally persistently even after I corrected it. This experience was disheartening and made me feel disconnected, as though my true identity was being ignored or dismissed. Given how strongly names relate to our identities, hearing people pronounce my name incorrectly makes me feel both frustrated and disappointed. It could seem like a lack of care or attention. However, I accept that mistakes are inevitable and handle them patiently.. In my primary school, everyone pronounces my name wrongly even the teachers. That time I used to ask my family I wanted to change my name I didn’t want this name but then my family told me the meaning of the name, that my name meant to love god. Since that time I always love my name.
